Watercolor painting of a Pheasant feather.

Feather # 157 — Pheasant

“I used the soft, earthy hues of my hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #5 to create a gentle contrast in this piece. The delicate brushstrokes and subtle edges form an abstract leaf, symbolizing a sense of unity and nurturing. Each layered wash blends effortlessly, allowing the natural drips and splatters to embody the strength and warmth of a close bond.”
